(CNN) -- This time it was the intruder who called 911.


A man who broke into a house in Portland, Oregon, called police -- afraid the homeowner may have a gun. The suspect, Timothy James Chapek, was in the bathroom taking a shower when the homeowner returned to the house Monday night, Portland police said in a statement. Accompanied by two German shepherds, the homeowner asked Chapek what he was doing in the house.
Chapek locked himself in the bathroom and made an emergency call, police said. He said he had broken into the house, the owner had come home, and that he was concerned the owner might have a gun. The homeowner also called the police to report that he had found a man in the house. Police with dogs took Chapek, 24, into custody "without incident," they said. He was booked for criminal trespass. They did not say if the homeowner did in fact have a gun.

  1. This is very funny but it also reveals some things. Usually we see thieves and murderers as sneaky, fearless people. This proves that not all of them are what we assume, but really do have some kind of fear in them while they are in action. I would like to know what exactly he broke in the house for. If someone has that serious of a mental problem they probably shouldn't be out alone.

  2. This guy seems pretty nice for a criminal, but he's definitely crazy. Nobody breaks into a house and takes a shower; he never intended to rob or hurt anyone. If this happened to me, I don't know if I'd want to see him behind bars or anything, but, at the same time, I wouldn't want to see him in my shower again either.

  3. I think this is a sign that says "HELP"! Most people do wreck less things because they have issues and try to get "heard"... so when they still are not heard... they go rob a home, and then turn themselves in hahaha.
